Fri, 28 Nov 2014 15:16:23 +0000http://frtim.wordpress.com/?p=5514#comment-6966I recently experienced a Priest who took the time of his sermons to degrade individuals in the parish who were present . He did this often and sent people into tears .His objective was pure control , to tithe more , attend more services, dress better in church etc etc 100 percent unacceptable to me as it destroyed all sense of spiritual peace and prayer . We have left that church . it builds a cult mentality of fear and blind obedience based on public humility .

The picture is vividly painted of the Lord himself making a face descriptive or the blind leader whose every act is for the outward show. I have tried to make such a face in front or a mirror and never got to holding it for a second before bursting out in laughter. Humour is truth and truth is light-heartedness. Thanks for this post.

]]>Comment on Good Grief: Bidding Farewell to a Beloved Pet by Sandra Dennis-Greenberghttps://frtim.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/good-grief-bidding-farewell-to-a-beloved-pet/#comment-6210
Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:39:50 +0000http://frtim.wordpress.com/?p=5161#comment-6210I just want to say “thank you” and “God bless you and your family”. My husband had a cat named Mittens from the time she was 5 1/2 weeks old till we had to put her down 2 years ago due to kidney failure. It was terrible for him, but also for me whom she had adopted 5 years ago when we married. The house was so lonely for us and our Jack Russell, Bridget, that we adopted a beautiful gray English Shorthair named Abby. We had no way of knowing that a tumor was lurking and just over a year later, we had to again release a beloved pet to God’s hands. The night before we took her to the vet, Bridget brought out her favorite, worn stuffed puppy toy and laid it down in front of Abby, pushing it with her nose until Abby could rest her head on it. She slept that way all night. Needless to say, that toy now holds a special place in a box with Abby’s belongings…we couldnt throw away this lovely act of love. Abby looked at me that night, and then looked away, and then looked again and again as if she was trying to memorize my face and say her goodbyes. I told her “I know Abby and it will be ok. We will always love you, but it’s time for you to go.” The next day we took her in and stayed with her while she peacefully drifted off. Mitten’s and Abby’s little teak boxes sit side by side in the family room, reminders of gentle and unconditional love. Bridget sits in front of them for a few minutes every now and then as if she knows. We added another Jack Russell to our Family, Murphy, who has helped Bridget conquer the loneliness that came at the loss of the two cats she loved to play with. And he has brought us joy. I volunteer at a pet adoption service where I see kittens and adult cats taken to good homes every time I am there. And I smile.

Sincerely, the volunteer who runs off the Sunday bulletin.
